An entertaining read!
Jenni is a maths teacher in a secondary school, and used to be in the armed forces. When one of her students, Destiny, arrives at school with a black eye, Jenni decides that she needs help - radical help, in fact, after a man turns up to collect Destiny from school with a gun tucked in to his belt. Jenni believes she must help Destiny to escape from a seriously dangerous situation. However, there’s much more to this story.

In fact, there is a lot to think about in this story: the way children are treated in the care system, the support for ex-servicemen and women, and human trafficking.

I liked the different perspectives that this was told in: Jenni, Destiny, and a couple of chapters told from the point of view of the Headteacher of Jenni and Destiny’s school. The different perspectives don’t always tell the same story though - and this is an important part of the whole story.

I liked this. It was an uncomfortable read at times, but I felt well entertained! And as usual, I enjoyed the whole Pigeonhole experience!
